0 Max Norris Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Sounds like something installed an old version of the 2005 C++ Runtime. Can fix it manually or just grab the updated version of the installer. The 2008 pre-SP1 runtime sometimes vomits files into the root of a drive too.. installs properly but doesn't clean up after itself. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927665 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cosmin Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 that manually job doesn't work.. any ideeas why ? To temporarily work around this issue, move the Msdia80.dll file to the Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC folder. Then, type the following command at a command prompt to register the Msdia80.dll file: regsvr32 driver:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC\msdia80.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Max Norris Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Need to enclose the full path in quotes since it's got spaces in it, otherwise it's treating it as a bunch of different parameters instead of one. You also don't want to use "Driver:" as a drive letter as that's not a valid one. Assuming C:, something along these lines. regsvr32 "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\vc\msdia80.dll" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Max Norris Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 no luck :|Forgot to give it a command ;) RegSvr32 "C:\Program Files....." Right now it's thinking you want to execute that DLL. Cosmin 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That version of the installer was a bit wonky and was replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
